Kombat 1 Saga with the Return of Playable Characters – Noob Saibot,
Cyrax, and Sektor
Ghostface, T-1000 Terminator, and Conan the
Barbarian Revealed as Upcoming Guest Fighters
Fan-Favorite Animality Finishing Moves Return
in Free Content Update for All Players
Warner Bros. Games today announced Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos
Reigns, a new expansion for Mortal Kombat 1 featuring
the next phase in the genre-defining Story mode centered around
peace and anarchy, along with the addition of Kombat Pack 2
including six playable characters. Developed by award-winning
NetherRealm Studios, Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns is set to
release digitally on Sept. 24 at 8 a.m. PDT / 10 a.m. CDT / 11 a.m.
EDT for PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™, and PC
(Steam and Epic Games Store).
After repelling the invaders who endangered Fire God Liu Kang’s
New Era of peace, Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns expands the
story campaign with an all-new cinematic narrative. When a perilous
threat arrives from an alternate timeline, led by the ruthless
Titan Havik whose sole mission is to throw the realms into khaos,
Liu Kang must rally his champions and put faith in his enemies to
defeat this grave danger. If they fail, the New Era will be reduced
to anarchy.
Adding to the growing roster of playable fighters, Kombat
Pack 2 features returning kombatants Noob Saibot, voiced
by Kaiji Tang; Cyrax, voiced by Enuka Okuma; and
Sektor, voiced by Erika Ishii, all with unique backstories
as part of the reimagined Mortal Kombat 1 Universe. As
Sub-Zero, Bi-Han was the Lin Kuei’s ruthless Grandmaster, but his
soul was stolen by Titan Havik to create the perfect henchman,
Noob Saibot, who is now dedicated to fomenting anarchy. Born
into the Zaki, one of the Lin Kuei's many sub-clans, Cyrax
became a martial arts prodigy with an independent streak and
untamed desire to serve the clan on her terms, or not at all.
Growing up immersed in Lin Kuei culture under the tutelage of her
parents, Sektor becomes a master armorer, skilled warrior,
and Sub-Zero’s most trusted lieutenant, committed to advancing the
clan’s future at all costs.
Kombat Pack 2 also brings a new batch of guest fighters
into the mix with Ghostface, the recurring identity donned
by antagonists from the Scream horror movie franchise, voiced by
Roger L. Jackson; T-1000, the liquid metal-based
Terminator and deadly cybernetic assassin from the
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) film featuring the voice and
likeness of actor Robert Patrick; and Conan the Barbarian,
the towering warrior from the Conan the Barbarian (1982) film
featuring the likeness of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Additionally, Animalities, the fan-favorite finishing
moves will be returning as a free content update for all Mortal
Kombat 1 owners. Allowing characters to morph into their spirit
animal to annihilate defeated opponents, Animalities can be
performed by all playable fighters and will be available in
conjunction with the Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns release.
Furthermore, all owners of Mortal Kombat 1 will receive a
free MK 95 Scorpion character skin, inspired by the original Mortal
Kombat (1995) film, available today.
